Hi there.

I don't normally do the whole list serves thing, but every now and then I like to try new things and since I enjoy getting to know new people I thought that it might be interesting to try joining a list like this in the hopes that I might be able to get to know some new people and make some friends along the way.

So here's a little bit about me.

My name is Jonathan though most of my friends typically call me Jon.

I'm 26 and from the state of Massachusetts a city called Brockton located roughly 45 minutes south of Boston.

I am totally blind and have been since birth.

I should state right up front that I'm not actually a student at this time or enrolled in a college or university, but I figured that I would probably have the most luck with meeting people my age by posting under this list.

I like to think that I have a wide variety of interests some of which include reading, listening to all types of music, talking online, on the phone, going out to dinner, sometimes to the movies, and browsing around in bookstores and music shops.

I could shop around a place such as bBarnes And Noble or Borders for hours.

I'm single and have no children though like many people I hope to be able to meet someone at some point in my life.

My 2 biggest passions in life are great books and music though I can be a bit ecclectic on both fronts so if you would like to know more specifically about what sorts of books or music I'm in to please feel free to ask and I'll be happy to elaborate.

Before closing this intro up I would just like to make it clear to everyone on this list that I'm not actually a member of either NFB or ACB and I try to be neutral on both fronts.

I know there has always been some disagreements between both organizations when it comes to dealing with the blind and sighted world but I try to take a bit out of both organization without specifically getting involved with the political aspects of the organization.

I'm mainly here to get to know different people and to perhaps make some new friends.

If anybody would like to contact me privately I ask that you do this off list.

My email address is

jmatte28 at comcast.net

Or if you like to instant message feel free to send me an IM on aim.

My screen name is tvvault82

I'm sorry but I do not have skype or MSN.

Thanks for reading this and hope to hear from some new people soon.

Sincerely Jonathan.
